1972 Map of Eccles

About this map

Eccles sits at the northern edge of this high-desert terrain, serving as a primary point of interest along the Union Pacific railroad line that cuts through the northern canyons. The landscape is defined by the massive Clover Mountains, where the drainage patterns of English Canyon, Ash Canyon, and Barnes Canyon converge toward Clover Creek. These canyons are dotted with vital water sources such as Lower Ash Spring, Upper Ash Spring, and Oak Spring, which were essential for both early ranching and the maintenance of the rail corridor.
